Each essay takes the form of critical and reflective writing on
specific processes and practices that emerge from contributors'
experiences in an experimental and immersive transformational media
pedagogy project called the Salzburg Academy on Media & Global
Change. Together, contributors examine media pedagogies that
prioritize value constructions like human connection, care,
imagination and agency, all of which collectively support a
transformative approach to learning. The book is heavily informed
by the work being done at the Salzburg Academy, which combines
foundations in media literacy and participatory design alongside
practices of transmedia storytelling to offer an immersive
pedagogical experience that builds from radical scholars like bell
hooks, Paulo Freire and W.E.B. Dubois. Aimed at educators and media
practitioners, this book offers practical strategies and tips for
those seeking to implement transformative media pedagogies in their
approaches to learning.

Civic life today is mediated. Communities small and large are now
using connective platforms to share information, engage in local
issues, facilitate vibrant debate, and advocate for social causes.
In this timely book, Paul Mihailidis explores the texture of daily
engagement in civic life, and the resources-human, technological,
and practical-that citizens employ when engaging in civic actions
for positive social impact. In addition to examining the daily
civic actions that are embedded in media and digital literacies and
human connectedness, Mihailidis outlines a model for empowering
young citizens to use media to meaningfully engage in daily life.
Media Literacy Education in Action brings together the field's
leading scholars and advocates to present a snapshot of the
theoretical and conceptual development of media literacy
education-what has influenced it, current trends, and ideas about
its future. Featuring a mix of perspectives, it explores the
divergent ways in which media literacy is connected to educational
communities and academic areas in both local and global contexts.
The volume is structured around seven themes: * Media Literacy:
Past and Present * Digital Media and Learning * Global Perspectives
* Public Spaces * Civic Activism * Policy and Digital Citizenship *
Future Connections Compelling, well-organized, and authoritative,
this one-stop resource for understanding more about media literacy
education across disciplines, cultures, and divides offers the
fresh outlook that is needed at this point in time. Globally, as
more and more states and countries call for media literacy
education more explicitly in their curriculum guidelines, educators
are being required to teach media literacy in both elementary and
secondary education contexts.

At the forefront in its field, this Handbook examines the
theoretical, conceptual, pedagogical and methodological development
of media literacy education and research around the world. Building
on traditional media literacy frameworks in critical analysis,
evaluation, and assessment, it incorporates new literacies emerging
around connective technologies, mobile platforms, and social
networks. A global perspective rather than a Western-centric point
of view is explicitly highlighted, with contributors from all
continents, to show the empirical research being done at the
intersection of media, education, and engagement in daily life.
Structured around five themes-Educational Interventions;
Safeguarding/Data and Online Privacy; Engagement in Civic Life;
Media, Creativity and Production; Digital Media Literacy-the volume
as a whole emphasizes the competencies needed to engage in
meaningful participation in digital culture.

Media Literacy and the Emerging Citizen is about enhancing
engagement in a digital media culture and the models that
educators, parents and policy makers can utilize to place
media-savvy youth into positions of purpose, responsibility and
power. Two specific challenges are at the core of this book's
argument that media literacy is the path toward more active and
robust civic engagement in the 21st century: How can media literacy
enable core competencies for value-driven, diverse and robust
digital media use? How can media literacy enable a more
civic-minded participatory culture? These challenges are great, but
they need to be examined in their entirety if media literacy is to
begin to address the opportunities they present for democracy,
participation and discourse in a digital media age. By presenting
information that places media literacy at the center of what it
means to be an engaged citizen, educators and policy makers will
understand why media literacy must be integrated into formal and
informal education systems before it's too late

News Literacy gathers leading scholars, educators, and media makers
to explore new approaches to thinking about, examining, and
evaluating news media and civic engagement around these fundamental
questions: What are the most pressing issues in news, media, and
culture in a converged, digital, and global media age? What are the
best educational practices to foster media literate understanding,
engagement, and expression across borders, across cultures, and
across divides? The book will prepare future media practitioners
(and citizens) to embrace new media environments that can
simultaneously empower their craft and their civic voice. This
means teaching not only about the various ways new technologies are
used and to what end, but also how these tools can enable better
engagement with audiences, more dialog with communities, and a more
nuanced understanding of how information is processed through new
media platforms. Such an approach can empower a more active,
collaborative, and empowered information landscape for the digital
age.
